    This is why i’m glad i’m large and trained in combat. Some drivers will get aggressive with me on my bike but then i get off my bike and they see my size (only 183 cm but colombians are mostly tiny) and they drive away. I really don’t get the attitude of getting aggressive with bikers. We’re way less protected than car people.

    Also carrying a collapsible baton might be a good idea for anyone who can’t fight that well. They’re great for hitting an aggressive car or person near you.

      I carry a stungun myself. I’ve only ever had to use it once and just the test zap was enough to intimidate the jerk who got in my face.
